raofI'd like to get a bunch of X guys and kernel guys in a room at the same time at UDS, because kernel modesetting has moved quite a lot of X into the kernel and we need to work out how best to handle bugs, tracking upstream, etc.  The way to make this happen would be to write a blueprint, yes?07:35

seb128pitti, hum k09:19
seb128pitti, and after RC?09:19
pittididrocks: it's also in freeze, but not bound so much by CD builds09:19
seb128pitti, what about the lpi change?09:20
pittiseb128: possibly; we certainly rebuild CDs again09:20
pittiseb128: so it's probably best if you just upload, so that it's in the queue for review09:20

seb128would be easier for you to make your own build with the configure option set to false for it09:40
geserwhat's the solution to make the binary debs build from gir-repository installable again? they have a versioned depends on gir1.0-gtk-2.0 build from gir-repository but gir1.0-gtk-2.0 got replaced with the one build from gtk+2.009:40
seb128geser, example?09:40
geserPackage gir1.0-wnck-1.0 version 0.6.5-5ubuntu1 has an unmet dep:09:40
geser Depends: gir1.0-gtk-2.0 (= 0.6.5-5ubuntu1)09:40
seb128geser, drop the version from the depends?09:41
seb128geser, I can do that if you want09:41
seb128let me look09:41
Zdraseb128, does that mean there is no way to now at run time? or you just don't know?09:46
Zdraseb128, I would like to not have to keep my own build for that detail...09:46
Zdracould benefit everyone if I just make it run-time as empathy does09:47

tseliotpitti: uploaded09:51
geserseb128: looks like removing the gir1.0-gtk-2.0 package from debian/control.in and adding gir1.0-gtk-2.0 to build-depends is enough to fix those broken dependencies09:59
seb128geser, I've uploaded a change without gir1.0-gtk-2.0 a minute ago10:00

didrocksasac: oh ok, great :)13:06
didrockspitti: if you have a sec at looking the nautilus-actions upload. I guess we should take the new version as it fixes an upstream issue which broke a tons of action scripts13:15
seb128didrocks, it's in the queue they will come to it13:15
seb128didrocks, it's in universe so no hurry13:16
pittididrocks: yes, we'll get to that; we needed to build the main packages first to kick off CD builds13:16

seb128pitti, I think either the server collector or the pkgbinary magic is buggy now13:16
pittiseb128: but this time we should still have the .ddebs if they were built at all; hang on13:16

seb128pitti, the testsuite is racy that's "known"13:20
seb128that's why it doesn't break the build13:21
didrocksseb128: ok, after RC, changes in universe are still considered. Just what I wanted to know. Thanks :)13:21
seb128didrocks, you didn't read the ubuntu-devel-announce emails ;-)13:22
pittiseb128: the udeb is ignored in the first invocation, but not in the dh_strip -plibglib2.0-udeb one apparently13:22
seb128pitti, do you want me to open a bug about this?13:23
didrocksseb128: I read it, but nothing it told about universe :-p13:23

nigelbabudidrocks, also, metacity has a big with a patch.  bug 111939.  fix in my ppa.  vish is testing now.15:32

nigelbabus/big/bug15:32
didrocksnigelbabu: ok, keep me posted. I'm building the other patch15:33
nigelbabudidrocks, great :)15:35
didrocksnigelbabu: looks good, pushing the plopper change if pitti can give an ack (fixing selection in pdf, bug #33288, fix backported from upstream)15:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 33288 in poppler "Evince doesn't handle columns properly" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/3328815:43
nigelbabudidrocks, woo! you folks rock! :)15:44
didrocksnigelbabu: you rock at triaging those patch an particularly noticing upstream commited this one ;)15:44
nigelbabuI'm subscribed to a lot of upstream bug reports :)15:44
didrocks(I remember to hate this bug in 2007 when making my final internship report…) and even later for copy/paste everything in pdf…15:45
nigelbabudidrocks, no wonder you're so excited at fixing :D15:47
didrockswell, TBH, I need it less today than during my studies, but still good to be nice for people needing it :)15:48
didrocks(and at our party, we get a lot of complains by not specially skilled people because of that)15:48
nigelbabuah :)15:50
nigelbabudidrocks, the metacity patch seems to be not working though fedora seems to have shipped it and its working perfectly there15:55
didrocksnigelbabu: well, in any case, the issue is the same in compiz. I would say, don't bother for lucid so (fixing compiz would have been more interesting as it's our default)15:57
nigelbabudidrocks, oh okay :)15:58
pittididrocks: not for RC though, unless we need a respin for something else16:06
didrockspitti: ok, keeping it hot for a SRU, so?16:07
pittididrocks: or right after RC16:07
didrockspitti: ok, adding a recall on my TODO. Thanks16:07
nigelbabudidrocks, the metacity thing works.  vish was testing with compiz :D16:07
vish;p16:07
didrocks:)16:08
didrocksTBH, not sure if this is that useful as compiz doesn't have that. Maybe good for +1 if not integrated in metacity trunk16:08
vishdidrocks: it would be worth uploading it for lucid though ;)  hint hint.. LTS16:08
nigelbabuits not in metacity trunk :/16:09
didrocksnigelbabu: do we have some upstream comment on that?16:09
didrocksvish: you have to keep in mind that fixing something can broke something else more importan16:09
didrockst*16:09
nigelbabudidrocks, upstream seems to have stopped commenting on this bug16:09
vishdidrocks: mclasen commented it and mentions it works16:09
nigelbabuthought mclasen commented and its shipped in fedora too16:09
didrocksvish: nigelbabu: ok, so after RC with the plopper update16:10
didrocksnigelbabu: can you ping me on Friday for that ^16:10
didrocksI'm building it to ensure having it tested for a few days16:10
vishdidrocks: and it does work , they have had it for a few releases , and the comment was from mclasen so i guess it is safe :)16:11
nigelbabudidrocks, yes.  err.. poppler or metacity16:11
vishdamn you compiz! ,why wont you work ;p16:11
mclasenvish: dangerous assumption :-)16:11
didrocksnigelbabu: metacity's one as it's your debdiff (did you attach it in the bug report?)16:11
nigelbabudidrocks, attaching.16:11
didrocksmclasen: do you think this one can have bad side effects?16:12
mclasenI don't know what patch is being discussed16:12
didrocksnigelbabu: pointers to fedora's commit?16:12

nigelbabudidrocks, hunting16:13
ftamvo, hi, what do i need to do to make the ubuntu software center show "chromium" when a user searches for "chrome" or "google chrome"?? (like apt-cache search already does)16:18
mvofta: on a call right now, I can have a look in a bit, could you send me a quikc mail?16:21
ftamvo, sure16:21
nigelbabumclasen, do you know at what point fedora integrated the metacity patch?16:23
nigelbabuI'm lost in CVS16:23
mclasennigelbabu: not sure, probably F1216:26
asacdidrocks: so you say the settings package would be neeeded to sort the maximus/focus issue?16:26
ccheneybryceh: is there a reason xinerama seems to be enabled at all times now, is it ubuntu specific or was that changed by xorg at some point?16:26
mclasennigelbabu: running the shell here atm, so can't verify if it still works16:26
nigelbabumclasen, ah.  No problem.  I'll hunt through CVS :)16:26
didrocksasac: no, from the log, I wasn't convinced it was fixing it. You told me that you wanted to get a try with them IIRC.16:26
ftamvo, n-m, just upgraded and it seems to work now (i changed the package description a few days ago in lucid and all ppas)..16:27
asacdidrocks: i wanted to try, but more for getting this a standalone thing (which i didnt consider high prio)16:27
asacdidrocks: what the settings package name exactly?16:28
Nafaigood morning!16:29
didrocksasac: ok. For the record, the other bug (not giving focus to the app) isn't a maximus one but a n-l-efl one. I think the two bugs are really linked.16:29
didrocksasac: should be ubuntu-netbook-default-settings16:29
asacdidrocks: what could be the reason for not getting focus? a timestamp thing?16:29
didrockshey Nafai16:29
Nafaihey didrocks16:30
didrocksasac: didn't investigate but that can be the case, right. Just tested n-l-efl without maximus and seeing that most of the time, the focus wasn't given to the launched app. timestamp can be one of the issue16:30
asacinteresting. i never saw it without maximus ... let me try again16:31
nigelbabudidrocks, I give up.  I can't find a fedora commit (I have no clue how to look)16:32
didrocksasac: tried with Friday's iso16:32
didrocksnigelbabu: no pb :)16:32
didrocksasac: chmod 0 maximus to ensure16:34
didrocks(didn't tried that, maybe it was respawn, but not maximized)16:34
didrocksasac: confirmed, having it again with no maximus16:36
asacdidrocks: terminal?16:38
asacor what app are you using to check this?16:38
didrocksasac: terminal, take screenshot, calculator…16:38
asacok16:38
didrocksgedit as well16:38

brycehccheney, it's not ubuntu-specific, and not something I've heard before16:48
ccheneybryceh: xdpyinfo on all my boxes (2 lucid, 2 karmic) have xinerama in xdpyinfo even though i am not using multiple heads, all of the systems have cards that are capable of doing that though16:50
ccheneybryceh: its not a problem except that OOo refuses to full screen on a xinerama setup due to what they claim are bugs16:51
brycehccheney, I know upstream is in process of getting xinerama working again, on top of xrandr16:52
ccheneybryceh: ok16:53
brycehccheney, what we have in lucid is not capable of this yet, but perhaps some of the underlying work is there and so they're loading the xinerama module now?16:53
ccheneybryceh: maybe so, but it also showing up for karmic so not sure about that part16:53
brycehccheney, anyway, sounds like ooo needs to detect xinerama some different way16:53
ccheneybryceh: full screen on OOo worked for slides until compiz also stopped doing its workaround which got me to the point of finding out OOo doesn't enable it due to seeing xinerama16:54
ccheneybryceh: how do you detect if xinerama is actually being used instead of just loaded as extension?16:54
brycehdunno16:55
ccheneybryceh: ok16:55
mptmvo, will you switch Update Manager back to using aptdaemon for Maverick?17:21
chrisccoulsonperformance really sucks on my laptop at the minute :-/17:23
james_wwhoah, nautilus just decided to forkbomb me17:24
james_wnot reproducible now though17:25
didrockschrisccoulson: dpkg fsync()?17:25
chrisccoulsondidrocks - i thought that, but this is sucking even without dpkg. although, when i did an update at the weekend, it did take ages (about 45 minutes), and i couldn't use my laptop at all during that time17:26
chrisccoulsonthe mouse cursor kept stuttering and pausing17:26
didrocksurgh…17:26
chrisccoulsonmy mouse cursor pauses at even the slightest disk access now (eg, opening gedit or something)17:27
jpdschrisccoulson: I have the same issue with postgres and dpkg.17:37
chrisccoulsonjpds - yeah, dpkg is definately a real bug killer on my laptop at the moment, but i'm not sure it's my only issue17:37

arandRegarding Bug #33288, is it possible to still shove the fix there into Lucid, now when it has been pushed into git? And would this be a reasonable changelog for that purpose: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/418707/ ?17:54

pittichrisccoulson: did you only notice it during package updates? or on other occasions?17:55
chrisccoulsonpitti - i'm noticing mostly in package updates, but my laptop feels generally sluggish any time I try to do any disk access now17:55
pittichrisccoulson: difference> oo.o-common has 5 triggers, so the actual unpack time with karmic dpkg felt like < 10 s17:55
